Russian troops in control of the Belbek air
base in Crimea fired warning shots into the air as around 300 Ukrainian
soldiers, who previously manned the airfield, demanded their jobs back.About a dozen Russian soldiers at the base
warned the Ukrainians, who were marching unarmed, not to approach. They fired
several warning shots into the air and said they would shoot the Ukrainians if
they continued to advance.
